Innovation is Electrifying.
With an available lineup of powerful and sophisticated electrified vehicles, Honda continues to innovate its way toward the goal of 100% zero-emission lineup in North America by 2040.
Exceptional Electric
Unplugged Power
Hybrid vehicles are more powerful and popular than ever. They don’t need to be plugged in, they generate electricity while you brake, and receive better mpg ratings, which may save money at the pump. And with stylish options like the Civic Sedan Hybrid, Civic Hatchback Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, and CR-V Hybrid, they fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Working to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions. For Good.
At Honda, we focus on bringing joy and freedom of mobility through the development of environmentally-conscious energy. That’s why we’ve introduced hybrids in our Civic, Accord, and CR-V lineups. And why we’re continuing to push for a fully-electric, zero tailpipe emission future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: A hybrid electric vehicle and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle both utilize their powerful electric motor and a gasoline engine to generate movement. They adapt on their own based on driving conditions, activating the electric motor and/or gasoline engine to propel the vehicle. Both vehicles also use regenerative braking, the most efficient way of putting energy back into the electric battery. This is the process of recovering energy that would otherwise be lost during deceleration so it can be reused to propel the car once acceleration is required.
The key differences between the two is that the plug-in hybrid has a larger electric motor and greater battery capacity allowing it to be used for a greater range of operation and distance. The plug-in hybrid plugs into an external electric source while the standard hybrid is solely fueled like a conventional gasoline vehicle.
A Hybrid vehicle uses both a gasoline engine and electric motor for propulsion. An electric vehicle uses only an electric motor for propulsion – no gasoline required. The electric vehicle’s high-density battery needs to be periodically charged through an external electrical power source.
No. Hybrid vehicles automatically charge when they’re in motion and, through a clever innovation called regenerative braking, which recovers energy that would otherwise be lost during deceleration.
One important adjustment to your life will be remembering to plug your Prologue into a Level 1 or Level 2 charger overnight at home. When you do need to charge while on the road, some quick planning can help you determine which public charging station best fits your road trip and, for added convenience, which has amenities near it so you can shop, eat, or run errands while your Prologue charges.
The maintenance on an EV is less than you may think. EVs do not require scheduled oil changes, for example, but will still need regular service on items like tire rotations, alignments, and air filter changes. The Prologue will also need to have its battery, electric motor, and cooling system inspected according to a maintenance schedule.
Planning ahead and checking what charging options are available en route to your destination can help ensure the best road trip experience possible. Finding the charging stations that will be available on your drive through mobile apps can help optimize your charging and keep you on track to arrive at your destination on time. Many public charging stations are now located near restaurants and shopping malls, so you can time your charging with meals or stretch your legs while you wait.
Yes. Driving a Prologue is even more convenient when you charge at home with a Level 2 charger. Home installation allows drivers to charge their Prologue at their convenience and start every morning with a charge. It’s also more cost-effective than public charging stations. We highly recommend speaking to a certified installer who will help you understand all the requirements and the best home connector type for your needs.
Tons! The rising number of public charging stations in some areas make it possible to solely use public stations. Many EV drivers often rely on chargers at their workplace
